How does Anthony re-enter the mainstream?

0  2015-03-22 by 40wattPlasmaRifle

There's clearly an unspoken blackballing of Ant going on right now. Not overt, but noticeable. So what does he do? He keeps doubling down on his old-school, drunk racist lothario thing but that just doesn't seem to be working, and considering he has decent interview skills he could be killing it. the whole "uncensored" thing doesn't work when there's nothing really shocking, while he could be killing it in normal interviews or hangouts.

I dunno, I subscribe, but unless a Colin or Vos is in its the same thing with no real direction.

Lets be honest here...Anthony doing a show from next to the shitter at a tattoo convention with bobo and his cum target texting along with 4 or 5 other weirdos is as mainstream as he is going to get unless he goes back to Sirius

Re enter? They were never mainstream to bein with. They were niche. Now Anthony is an old drunk pedophile in a basement. He maybe was once funny but his shtick is old now and his is show is a bore.

Oh and he is lazy as fuck. if had some motivation to be creative he would have a little standup act, short film, book...something, anything. No, but he won't. Takes too much effort and he's got a lot of beer to drink and 5's to spray his cum on

This is pretty accurate across the board. The 'mainstream' window is gone.

Anthony sat in front of empty seats next to a restroom in a half assed casino, doing a live broadcast yesterday, while yelling out an impression of a comedian who hasn't been relevant since Reagan was in office.

This is literally the equivalent to Rich Little doing John Wayne impressions in 1989, except on a show that aspires to reach public access audiences.

It's over.

People tend to also forget that Anthony wasn't exactly meant for the entertainment business. He was a construction worker before all this. Just some blue collar guy with a quick wit and a fine movie reference repertoire. I always liked the guy because of his honesty. But he never learned anything it seems. He should have never went on a twitter rage after the Times Square incident. Dumb move. People with social media skills of sorts know this. He didn't. He paid the price. Deep down he knows he fucked up.

Somehow I don't think making appearances on white supremacist radio stations will help him "Re-enter" the mainstream.

I love ant, but some of his fans can be so delusional. He's a fucking horrible, stupid, and delusional racist. Accept it.

Him and his Obama shit is infuriating to listen too. He tries to be all political but he can't be rational. He has a personal hatred for Obama that supersedes any common sense regarding Obama's policies just because Obama is nothing but a nigger in his dumb dago eyes. He really does hate black people. I remember hearing part of some trayvon conversation where he said "Good, another dead thug." I'm not even going to defend Trayvon or say he was innocent or anything, but the implication of that comment is "Good, that dumb black kid should be dead, because it is impossible that he would grow up and ever become a productive member of society since he is a hood nigger."

And before you say "But he was friends with Patrice" well, the thing about that is, Ant actually took the time to get to know him over his many appearances on the show and such. Funny thing, when you actually try to get to know and understand someone as being more than a fucking skin color, you might actually start to realize that a black guy is actually a human being too.

I love ant, but when it comes to race he is just so fucking stupid that it is astounding.

Ant, given his opinions and personality, could ever really rise to the level of a Paul Mooney. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but you know that behind every joke there's something boiling just beneath the surface.

How is he stupid when it comes to race? Because he doesn't put his head in the sand when it comes to facts and reality? Maybe you just aren't very good at pattern recognition.

Go extinct, dinosaur.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is why there's tension between races. Anyone who expresses themselves honestly like Ant does gets scolded by lib cucks like this sap here. Eeevil eevil whitey, how DARE he comment on blacks, what does he know about struggle? Pig had everything handed to him by the patriarchy.

Must suck to live your watch seeing mostly one race go to work and pay tax, while another race primarily lives on welfare and seems to be preoccupied with harassing others, attacking pedestrians and killing each other. I'd say he has the right to be angry about it.

You are so retarded.

At least I'm not going to get shot walking my dog because I understand how real situations work and that your political correct lib dreams won't play out around the block.

Not entirely true. Not everything was handed to him. He and his brother also sold drugs, defrauded credit card companies, failed to pay rent and instead laid around the house getting high and drunk all day.

How many people did they attack? How many innocents did they shoot? How many assaults on their record?

And this is why their better than niggers.

They attacked plenty of people. Ant alone told a story about hanging out with bikers and beating the shit out of fuckers for no reason.

How many innocents they shot will be tallied up after Ant's murder spree/life concludes. You don't really think he'll die without killing a few niggers, do you? Gotta impress daddy's ghost somehow.

Just quit, mucus plug.

So black crime is justified by the hypothetical possibility that Ant could kill people too? Nice

[deleted]

it depends if Ant murders a black guy which could easily keep him in the news for a couple of weeks. If he only kills Opie it will be in news 2 days max and mostly only on Fox News and that's only because they know Hannity.

It'll get play on Red Eye, whatever the fuck that is.

Throw him in a river.

FAWKIN HOMERUNN tsss

If I were Anthony Cumia, I'd get married to someone who's "age-appropriate", move to an affordable part of the country and do talk radio.

Art Bell is a great example of this. The dude is clearly a weirdo, but he's not TRYING to be mainstream. Art Bell has a fringe audience that loves him, and he lives in a part of the country where a few hundred dedicated fans provide enough income to make a living. (Pahrump, NV)

Ant's career is all over the map. If you're going to be a Shock Jock, there's a third rail that you can't touch. (racism) If you're going to be a Republican commentator on Fox News, you're going to be competing with a lot of people who've been doing it longer and more successfully. (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc.)

BTW, the reason that I think that Ant should get married is because wives are great at telling husbands where to draw the line. If Ant was married I think his wife would've said "yo you gotta tone down this racist shit, it's going to get you fired."

Well he could stop entering 12 year olds. That's a start.

Wow. Yeah, really.

blackface

Mammy, mammy, MAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYY

He can't. He is old, lacks charisma and is not funny enough. Being mildly popular 20 years ago on an old fashioned medium will not guarantee him any fame today.

He lacks charisma? Plenty of Anthony fans don't necessarily subscribe to his politics, but they like him and find him funny. I'd say that is the definition of charisma.

The people on this board who unreasonably hate Opie and treat Anthony like a god sicken me, but there is no denying that Anthony has talent and charisma. He is genuinely funny, but I don't see him ever being mainstream. Anthony has his audience and everyone should be satisfied with that.

No amount of hating Opie is unreasonable.

Subscription is suicide in the age where I can get hundreds of world class comedians and shows on my phone for free. The over saturation of shows raises the demands for paid shows to levels Ant can't ever satisfy on his own.

If only Jim didn't resign with Sirius, they might have ding dong ball bag joke show that could stand a chance. With just Ant I'm beginning to get a bit tired of him as well. Too much of anyone is bad.

They haven't been mainstream for a while. Having an uncensored morning show on satellite radio is pretty niche in reality. Howard is only "mainstream" in that he has his dumb talent show and more name recognition.

Unfortunately even if the "incident" never happened, the only platform for Anthony is either sat radio or podcasting. Every halfway decent talk show in this genre that was on terrestrial was fired like 5 years ago and replaced with canned shit or sports talk. I doubt terrestrial would want Howard back at this point. Mediocre and safe is what they want.

Stop being a self admitted racist.

Tss just jump back in the water.

I'm assuming eventually he'll have a table setup next to Virgil at those conventions.

And like every time he finds himself seated next to a black person, he'll smile and laugh and tell jokes but for some reason he won't voice ANY feelings WHATSOEVER about the black community. He won't call anyone a savage, he won't say blues and jazz suck, he won't mention Ferguson. He's a goddamn pussy. That's why he wears a gun everywhere he goes, even in his fortress.

Well, that sure escalated quickly...

Reunite with Opie on Sirius.... That's it. Unfortunately.

I don't think he was ever in the mainstream to begin with

Ant re-enters the mainstream when news of his murder-suicide hits the internet.

He needs a co-host to bounce off of and a NY studio. Comics will come as long as Ant has the power to put asses in seats. Even crazy leftist Patton Oswalt tweets Ant every so often. The masses have forgotten Ants racist tweets, if he gets more subs, people will forget the controversy in the name of advertising. Ants gotta work on his shows dynamic, he's to rich and powerful and I'm sure everyone is sucking his dick in home but the solo show and the constant race shit just isn't as accessible to people on the periphery of his fanbase that would probably sub.

And I know he has no interest in making the show free, but goddamn, get some big advertisers and give more shit away. People will always go for free shit before paying.

Anthony is just a great guy who because of the decided direction of society doesn't fit into the mainstream entertainment world anymore, despite his undeniable comedic talent, best thing of him to do is do everything he can to satisfy the fans who love him and stuck by him and make his living off them, he doesn't have a chance of bringing any kind of a multi million audience to himself because most people who make up the internet download crowd aren't gonna get into him at this point unless he finds one or two decently established guys doing a project with him, he won't get what he deserves but nobody brilliant ever or outspoken ever does, look at colin, patrice, stanhope, or anybody you view at that level, anthony will live on the outskirts and can make good money as long as he works to entertIn those who appreciates his gifts

Why try to make a small minority happy and stay unsuccessful and lonely instead of trying to appeal to the masses and stop being a racist fuck. Opie is a commercial hack sure but he still has a lot of fans and gets paid a shit load. A small minority hate him. I would much rather be Opie than Anthony

just saying ant doing what he wants to do reaches a good amount of subscribers who support his life style, why do something he doesn't want to do to get some extra add bucks why not just give your solid never goin away fanbAse the kind of realistic Eve Headed talk they want?

The reason Ant can never be mainstream is because all his biggest fans have names like yours.

Why care about how much money or how mainstream successfully he is? Just want him to have the best show possible for you. I never understood Anthony's fans obsession with him having as much money as possible. There is no other entertainer that I've ever seen fans obsess over their bank account as much

That's the Cult of Republicans. The idiots at the bottom of the pyramid funnel money up to their idols and then they all get to pretend they're all part of a team and that they're all sharing in the wealth.

Replied to myself, and on a long post, down vote me

You want the last 15 to 30 minutes of each show to be him fucking his latest chick on the poker table, really make use of that uncensored title for you?

Again with this Anthony cuckoldry, what the fuck every single time I swear. You guys are like cult followers watching the leader bang every chick in town while you watch drooling and throbbing under your robes.

Ah again with someone using cuckold wrong, oh reddit where words can be used freely without being bogged down by pesky things like context or meaning.

Let's all just calm down and remember how repugnant Roland is, and harass him for it.

You're a giant cuck for wanting Ant to receive all the poontang and choose to watch yourself

That's not what cuckolding is you immense faggot. Fuck this subreddit is full of the most retarded cunts.

Except it's precisely what cuckolding yourself is.

He could try running for Grand Wizard in the KKK...

Hell, I'd vote for him.

The new studio will lead to the show being leased to other stations then a talk show
